Fast, Reliable Wi-Fi with Great Coverage
The TP-Link Archer AX53 has been fantastic for our home network. Setting it up was quick and easy, and the AX3000 speed really makes a difference — streaming 4K videos and gaming online is smooth with no noticeable lag. The dual-band feature helps keep devices stable even when multiple people are connected at once. Coverage is excellent; I get strong Wi-Fi signals in every corner of my house. The interface is user-friendly, and firmware updates are simple. Overall, a reliable router that delivers fast, consistent performance at a reasonable price. UPDATE ITS STILL GREAT

Great product
Great product, easy to setup, massive boost in range over my standard providers supplied router, loads of additional features and a bargain on sale. Signal never drops out and a big improvement in reliability. After a quick Google search and YouTube video I had it setup in about 10 mins.

Solid router but firmware update doesnt work via app
I'm on virgin media, they gave me the hub 3 which is absolutely terrible. The wifi kept disconnecting. I complained and they sent me another hub 3 which was just as bad - the wifi kept dropping and I'd have to turn my wifi on and off and put up with stuttering MS teams calls. I suspected it was the wifi signal so I bought this. Setup was reasonably straight forward although the app is kinda basic. You have to put the virgin media hub into modem mode and then connect it to this router and then restart the virgin media hub otherwise it wont work - theres a youtube video on it basically if you search virgin media modem mode - its not the top one but theres one with a guy explaining you need to reset the modem in the correct order. I followed the app and after a little fiddling it worked and the connection has been solid non-stop. No more signal drops, no more MS teams issues. The ONLY criticism is the app on my phone doesnt seem to update the firmware even though it says it does. You begin an update, it completes and then it says the firmware is still outdated and hasn't been applied. It doesnt really make sense.

Overall very good and worth the price.
Overall I'm happy with the router, it's about as good as it gets for the price. The router is overkill for our connection speed but I went with it for the good Antennas. Wi-Fi signal is good overall. It covers my 3 bed house well enough on it's own even though it's in the corner of the house. I'm getting the same speeds via Wi-Fi to my PC, as I do when I'm connected via Ethernet direct to the router, so I can't complain. As with almost all TP-Link products, you just scan the QR code on the back of the router with your smart phone and follow the instructions to set it up. I used my ISP's very old router in modem mode and connected both together via the included Ethernet cable. Ran a few Wi-Fi tests on my PC which is about 8 Meters away with out of the box settings, results - RSSI 2.4Ghz - 41 RSSI 5Ghz - 53 12 Ping 273.74Mbps Down 26.34Mbps Up Our ISP package is 250Mbps so we are getting full speed via Wi-Fi and Ethernet with the router.

10/10 router
Excellent router. Easy to set up with QR code and Tether app. Boosted my speeds and range dramatically, so I am now getting the speed I pay for. Highly recommended. Not expensive for the quality you are getting.

Disable The Smart Connect Feature - Then It Delivers. Early Failure After 28 Months Though
No problems with the retailer - arrived quickly, was well packaged, as described etc. NB - I'm using this device as an Access Point (instead of my Sky Q's weedy Wi-Fi), so no comment on the 'router' performance of the AX10. As a Wi-Fi access point I found frequent dropouts of signal, and I was on the point of returning it for a refund. TP Link technical support responded quickly and advised me to disable the Smart Connect feature and since then its been fine. As far as I can tell, Smart Connect seems to gave all of the service to one of my phones, at the expense of everything else, and an internet search found several other complaints along the same lines. You can achieve most of the benefits by using the same SSID & Password for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio settings, without the downside. If you do that, your phones etc. will self-select the best band as you move round the house. After that fix, it is working well giving me fast Wi-Fi (250 to 500 MBit depending which room), to the latest AX standard, to the latest WPA3 security standard (a dual mode which also supports WPA2 if older devices need it) so a good bit of future proofing at a reasonable price. As the base model its throughput is limited compared to the premium types, but with my Internet throttled to 40 MBit that isn't an issue. This is easily fast enough to saturate that service. It was easy to set up using their Tether app on my phone (took about 10 minutes), which you can use later to monitor the device, amend its settings, update firmware and so on. POST SCRIPT - Just failed after 28 months. The Ethernet connection to my ISP's router has been erratic for a few moths, and failed completely today. The symptom is that the "Internet" light glows orange, and the connection to the internet is lost. Looking on line, lots of other people reporting similar problems with the WLAN connection as well. Speculating, I suspect that there is a cracked solder joint near the socket, because the previous erratic failures all occurred in the small hours of the morning (between 02:00 and 04:) , when my house was approaching its coldest overnight temperature. Same timing today, except that this time the issue was unrecoverable. Looks to me that thermal contraction is the triggering event.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars Really impressed.....Setup was quick, and it immediately fixed the weak WiFi spots in my home. The connection is steady, the speed feels a lot faster, and everything just works smoothly now. For the price, it’s a solid upgrade. Definitely worth it.

It's a good router. If you're buying internationally note that it has a UK power plug.
